It's been exactly a week since I started at Westwood, a week since I met Raven, Matt and... Liam... Its been a week since I discovered my... power... and nobody knows about it... nobody but me.
When I think about it, college hasn't been too bad, I've enjoyed all my lessons so far and feel like I'm actually settling in well for once... Raven and Matt have been really helping me through the week, although they seriously need to get a grip on their emotions!
Mind you I can't talk... Liam passed me in the corridor today and waved at me, I was so mesmerised by him and went to wave back but walked into someone instead and made a complete utter fool of myself! One of the most embarrassing moments of my life! Oh and to make matters worse Chloe turned out to be the one I walked into so I got a two hour lecture on how stupid I was and how much I had ruined her life!That girl is such a bitch! Honestly what is wrong with her, she's a stupi-...
"Lauren?" Asked Raven, I zoned back in from my thoughts.
I've been sitting with Raven and Matt for almost an hour now, we decided to head to the library during our lunch break. "Sorry?" I say, looking at them both confused.
"Not listening were we?" Said Raven sarcastically, I laughed at her comment before replying "I'm sorry, caught up in my work, what did you say?"
"Matt wanted to know what you put for question 2?" Raven said, blushing a little when mentioning Matt's name who also blushed when hearing her say his name...
It's annoying how awkward it is between the two of them but it's cute how obvious their chemistry is."Right umm..." I say looking down at my paper - Question two was...
A cell of the pancreas produces digestive enzymes, which are proteins. The enzymes are released into the small intestine.
Suggest which two of the following are adaptations to its role?
I quickly looked down at my answers and responded to Matt "I've put large numbers of ribosomes and mitochondria with well-developed internal membranes."
Matt thanked me and continued with his work along with Raven.
Maybe I should tell them?
No I can't!
You need to tell someone!
But what if they don't believe me and hate me!
They won't get a grip!
Just tell them!
No!
Tell them!"I can rewind time!" I say, the words burst out my mouth, I couldn't stop myself, I look up to see Raven and Matt looking at me. "Your joking right?" Says Matt trying to judge my facial expression.
"WHAT!?" Raven yelled over the table causing several groups of people who were trying to work in peace in the library, to look over at us. "I said... I have a power... I can rewind time." I look up at their faces, both of them looking lost and confused. "Do you want to go home Lauren, maybe your feeling ill?" Said Raven.
"No I'm perfectly fine!" I say, I can tell I'm going to have to find a better way to convince them. "I'll prove it to you!" I say.
"Yeah right!" Said Matt sarcastically
"I will, I will.... " I say, trying to think of something that I could do to prove myself. Then I got it!
"I will predict the future!" I say. They both look at me and nod to say 'go ahead!'Right Lauren how are we going to do this?...
"If you don't believe me, I will predict the future! Now this is the first time this has happened so I'll wait and try to rewind to then tell you what will happen!" I say, trying to sound confident, I have no idea how to control this power, so far as long as I wish to return... I can... Let's hope it works this time.
I notice Matt and Raven nod and looking at each other with the 'should we be concerned about this' look, I ignore it and start to look at my surroundings...Mrs Duck, the librarian, walked round from behind her desk and headed straight towards Melissa who was drawing on the table, once she was close enough Mrs Duck let loose!
"Melissa Mills, stop drawing on that table this instant, the library is for studying not for drawing, if you want to draw then go up to art!" Said Mrs Duck shaking her head at Melissa's actions. Melissa rolled her eyes, picked up her bag and left the room.I looked around for anything else that was happening and then Miss Scott walked into the room and came over to our table "Matt I've been looking everywhere for you, you left your science book in my classroom this morning." She said.
"Ah thank you Miss Scott , I hadn't realised I left it" Matt replied. She paused and gave him the book.
"Oh and also I was looking for you to tell you that... You've won the science competition!" Miss Scott said smiling "That's great!" I said
"Yes well done Matt!" Raven said blushing. Matt looked at her and blushed as well and then thanked all of us. Miss Scott left the library. I was ready all I have to is rewind.I wish I could go back!
I thought, no whooshing sound came, nothing moved backwards, time wasn't moving back!
I wish I could go back!!
Again, nothing, why wasn't it working? I look up at Matt and Raven they're looking at me, waiting, any second now they are going to put me down and say I'm stupid.
URGH!!!
I yell, throwing my hand out in front of me in annoyance, the next thing I know I can hear a loud wooshing sound, getting louder and louder and my vision blurred.
"Yeah right!" Matt said sarcastically in front of me. I knew where I was and I knew what I had to do. "I will predict the future!" I say. They both look at me and nod to say 'go ahead'.
"Right so in a minute Mrs Duck will come out from behind her desk and head straight for Melissa Mills and have a go at her for drawing on her desk, she will say about going to the art room to do things like drawing, then Melissa will leave the room."
"Okay" Raven said.
"Next Mrs Scott will come into the room and come towards us and she will tell Matt that he left his science book in her class this morning and that he has won the science competition" I say.
"Yeah right! As if!" Matt said "I would never win that competition in a million years! I entered it but I won't win!" Matt was so sure if himself but I was about to prove be him wrong.
"Watch!" I said.Mrs Duck came out from behind her desk, went over to Melissa and had a go at her, Melissa then left.
"Your right Lauren but you could easily of guessed that!" Said Raven.
Then Mrs Scott came into the room and told Matt he left his book in her class. She then paused and gave him the book. Matt looked at me with the 'your wrong!" Expression.
"Oh and I was also looking for you to tell you that... You've won the science competition!" Miss Scott said. Matt's eyes widened at me and then he blinked a few times in shock and looked up at Miss Scott. "What?!" He said.
"You've won the science competition Matt well done! Miss Scott then walked away. " Wow, I... Won!" Said Matt. "And Lauren you were right, you can... Rewind... Time?" Matt continued. "Yeah..." I said. "So do you both believe me?" I ask
"Of course, after that yes!" Said Matt
"There is no way I couldn't believe that!" Raven replied . "Now...Tell us everything, I want to know what happened, how long you've had this, and why!" Raven said.Trust her to want to know everything...
"Well... I - "
RING, RING,RING
The lunch bell rang, brilliant just as I'm trying to explain. "Look guys let's meet at the end of the school day and I'll explain then!" They both agreed and we set off to our next lessons. As I was walking to History all I was thinking about was my power.
I couldn't return like I did before, I was wishing, but this time it didn't work, then I got annoyed and threw my arm out in front of me... Is that how I control my power now I don't wish I feel anger, I just throw out my arm, I wish I knew what was happening, I just hope Matt and Raven can help me!
